Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a molding apparatus for cold forming cups for medical or pharmaceutical products into a film.
  • Blister packaging is commonly used in the manufacture of medical or pharmaceutical packaging.
  • wells for the medical or pharmaceutical products are molded into a mold foil, the products are filled into these wells and the wells are then sealed with a cover foil.
  • plastics are usually used as the material for the molding film, in which the wells can be formed by thermoforming.
  • the cover sheet is usually made of aluminum or an aluminum laminate.
  • the molding film of a special material for example aluminum or an aluminum laminate, in order to ensure absolute tightness, for example to light or water vapor. Since it is not possible to introduce appropriate cups in such films by thermoforming, arise because of the necessary cold forming of the wells in the film difficulties. Namely, the cold forming process is unable to provide wells of the same small dimensions as a comparable thermoforming process.
  • any medical or pharmaceutical product in the cup can not be stably held in position so that, for example, breakage detection of the products in the cup prior to its sealing by camera or other methods can only be accomplished with significant blurring.
  • there is a risk that the respective product can be trapped between the sealing film and cover film during sealing. Also, the removal of the product by expressions is possible in such cases only in a relatively untargeted manner.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a molding apparatus for cold forming of wells for medical or pharmaceutical products in a film, by means of which a positionally stable stable positioning of the products in the respective shaped wells is possible and generates the cups of the smallest possible dimensions.
  • the molding apparatus for cold forming medical or pharmaceutical product wells into a film comprises a hold down and a die at least one of which is movable relative to the other to clamp the film between hold down and die in an area around a draw zone of the forming apparatus.
  • the molding apparatus comprises at least one punch and at least one counter punch, which are arranged in the draw zone and serve for molding at least one cup in the clamped film, wherein at least one of the punch or counter punch is movable relative to the other in a closed mold position of the molding device.
  • the stamp has a base body with a working surface, wherein on the working surface at least one protruding in the direction of the counter punch protrusion is arranged substantially centrally in the draw zone and the base body at the edges of the working surface and the protrusion has a rounded or bevelled edge region, said in the closed mold position of the molding device, the film bears against both the rounded or beveled edge regions of the working surface of the stamp and the protrusion of the stamp.
  • the counter punch has at least one recess surrounded by webs, in which the at least one protrusion of the punch is received in the closed mold position of the molding device, whereby the webs of the counter punch in the closed mold position of the molding device in an intermediate region between the rounded or beveled edge region Working surface of the punch and the protrusion of the stamp on the foil rest.
  • the webs are also rounded or bevelled inwardly around the recess.
  • a package is formed with stepped cups, which allows for improved product removal, has a greater dimensional stability, ensures a precise positioning of the products in the wells and the elongation of the material of the film during cold forming can be more adjustable and thus a uniform deformation allows.
  • the overall dimensions of the packaging unit are reduced.
  • the rounded or beveled edge region of the working surface of the stamp has a plurality of steps.
  • the cold-forming process can be adapted to the given framework conditions of the cold-forming process more individually.
  • the protrusion may also have several stages at its edges.
  • both the punch and the counter punch are movable relative to one another.
  • the punch may first be moved to a pre-stretch position to effect pre-stretching of the material of the foil and a portion of the foil between the protrusion and the rounded or bevelled one To open the edge area of the work surface of the stamp.
  • the counter punch is moved in the direction of the punch to take the closed mold position of the molding device, whereby then also the previously spanned portion of the film is deformed again.
  • a first embodiment of the molding device according to the invention is shown in cross-sectional view. Due to the symmetrical construction of the molding device, a second cross-sectional view perpendicular to the first cross-sectional view was omitted here.
  • the illustrated first embodiment of the molding apparatus is suitable for the formation of round, flat wells for medical or pharmaceutical products, in particular tablets, capsules, etc.
  • the molding apparatus has a hold-down 2 and a die 4, at least one of which is movable relative to the other.
  • the hold-down device 2 is moved in the direction of the die 4 in order to clamp the film 6 to be formed between the hold-down device 2 and the die 4 at at least two points.
  • a stretching zone S of the molding apparatus is formed, in which the deformation of the film 6 takes place.
  • a punch 8 and a counter punch 10 are arranged, which serve to mold at least one cup into the clamped film 6. At least one of stamp 8 or countermark 10 is relative to the other in an in Fig. 1C pictured closed mold position of the molding device movable.
  • the punch 8 has a base body 12 with a working surface 14.
  • the working surface 14 extends in the illustrated embodiment is substantially horizontal, but may also have inclined portions, and is always facing the counter punch 10.
  • On the working surface 14 a protruding in the direction of the counter punch 10 protrusion 16 is arranged, which is located substantially in the middle of the draw zone S.
  • the base body 12 has at the edges of the working surface 14 on a rounded or bevelled edge portion 18.
  • the counter punch 10 comprises at least one of webs 20 surrounded recess 22, in which the protrusion 16 of the punch 8 in the in Fig. 1C shown closed mold position of the molding device is added.
  • the recess 22 has in the illustrated embodiment, substantially the same width as the protrusion 16 so that the protrusion 16 can just enter into the recess 22.
  • larger distances between the inner wall of the recess 22 and the lateral wall of the protrusion 16 are also conceivable, inter alia, depending on the desired cup shape and the coefficients of friction of protrusion 16 and foil 6.
  • Fig. 1A the hold-down 2 and the die 4 are in a spaced-apart position.
  • punch 8 and counter punch 10 are spaced apart, so that the film 6 can be transported unhindered by a transport device, not shown, to the desired shape position.
  • Fig. 1B the film 6 is already clamped between hold-down 2 and die 4 and the die 8 is then moved down into a pre-stretched position.
  • This pre-stretch position simultaneously forms the position of the punch 8 in the in Fig. 1C shown closed mold position of the molding device.
  • the edge region 18 of the working surface 14 of the punch 8 is below that of the film 6 in Fig. 1A spanned horizontal plane and thus serves for the stretching and stretching of the film 6 in a region near the clamping area between downholder 2 and die 4th
  • the distance between die 8 and hold-down 2 or die 4 can vary depending on the application, but is usually very low.
  • a stepped geometry of the cup 24 was formed in a two-stage process, as in Fig. 1D is shown. In this way, a well-defined, material-saving and uniform cold forming of a cup 24 in the film 6 can be achieved.
  • FIG. 2 illustrated second embodiment of the molding apparatus according to the invention is suitable for the formation of round, convex cups.
  • the only difference from the embodiment Fig. 1 lies in the convex shaped bottom surface of the protrusion 16th
  • Fig. 3 illustrated third embodiment of the molding apparatus according to the invention is particularly suitable for wells which are to receive oval flat products. It can be seen from the two adjacent cross-sectional views in two mutually perpendicular directions that the cups 24 have a greater extent in the second direction than in the first direction. Otherwise this is in Fig. 1 and 2 described principle of cold forming unchanged.
  • Fig. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of the molding apparatus according to the invention, which are particularly suitable for the formation of wells for receiving elongated, convex products.
  • the difference to the embodiment of Fig. 3 lies in the convex-shaped bottom surface of the protrusion 16.
  • the various views and the operation of the molding apparatus correspond to the embodiment Fig. 3 ,
  • Fig. 5 a fifth embodiment of the molding apparatus according to the invention is shown, which is suitable for cold forming of cups which are to receive capsule-shaped products.
  • the various views and the operation of the molding apparatus correspond to the embodiments of Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 , It can be seen, however, that the protrusion 16 is more convex.
  • Fig. 6 illustrated sixth embodiment of the molding apparatus according to the invention is in turn suitable for cold forming of cups for round, flat products, see Fig. 1 ,
  • the rounded or beveled edge region 18 of the working surface 14 of the punch 8 has several steps, which are outlined by the thin lines.
  • the protrusion 16 is rounded or beveled at their edges and has several stages there.
  • the webs 20 of the counter-punch 10 are rounded or bevelled inwardly around the recess 22 and have several steps towards the inside.
  • steps in the various elements may each be formed only in individual elements or in several elements.
  • steps is understood to mean any form of gradual change of the outer diameter or of the inclination or also of the surface quality of the respective elements.
  • a seventh embodiment of the molding apparatus is shown.
  • the protrusion 16 of the punch 8 is formed as a two-stage element with a wide base 26 and a narrower tip 28.
  • the counter punch 10 is also configured in two parts, wherein the webs 20 of the outer part of the counter punch 10 act on the film portion between the edge region 18 of the working surface 14 of the punch 8 and the edge region of the base 26 of the protrusion 16 and the inner webs 30 of the inner Part of the counter punch 10 act on the film portion which extends between the edge region of the base 26 and the top 28 of the protrusion 16.
  • the inner and outer parts of the counter-punch 10 can either be shared or be driven separately from each other. In turn, steps can be formed at the various edge regions of the elements. A combination of different details of the different embodiments is possible.
  • the illustrated dimensions of the individual elements and their relation to each other may vary depending on the field of application.
  • ampoules or all other medical or pharmaceutical articles and even technical articles are also suitable as products.
  • stiffening beads can be formed in the film.
  • the punch 8 and the counter punch 10 are usually made of stainless steel, coated aluminum or special hard plastics.
  • the molded-in wells 24 usually have a depth of 2 to 50 mm.
  • the films 6 to be formed by this method are usually aluminum foils or laminates of polyamide / aluminum / PVC. But there are also polyethylene films or polypropylene films and all possible combination of the aforementioned materials into consideration.
  • the lowering of the punch 8 and the subsequent countermovement of the counter punch 10 were described in each case. It is also possible that the counter punch 10 is already in its stationary end position before the lowering of the punch 8, as for example in Fig. 1C is shown, and that the punch 8 already provides by its downward movement for the complete formation of the stepped cup 24.
  • die 4, punch 8 and counter punch 10 come here all sorts of mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic drives in question.
  • the counter punch 10 can either be stationary, move together with the die 4 or have a separate drive.
